Mr Carlton Irving discusses “Māori Health - It’s not just about Māori”. If we get health right for Māori - we get it right for everyone. @acemonline Spring Symposium #ACEMSS22

@tarry_rope @sibley_hugh @golrizghahraman Ohh you’ve “read articles”. Cool so that gives you an opinion on what I should do with my body? Cos your take on those articles is more important than my life?

New rule: hospital administrator on duty must come down and personally meet any admitted patient waiting more than 1 hour for a bed in the ED

Ensure that we remember it is human being, not just a statistic, lying there in that chaotic hallway

Just out - confirms what we all know but hopefully provides the hard evidence to inform policy change. First study to include all staff groups in the Emergency Dept. High levels of burnout, worst in women and nurses 😢 https://t.co/qhfnhSkp1P

@sphiep @acemonline @claski @johnubonn Rest assured there are some badass women on the organising committee working our butts off to get a diverse and inspiring panel for every session 💪

[Suzi Hamilton @Suzi_NZ]

@SiouxsieW So my sister in law is married to your PhD supervisor and has a copy of your thesis on their bookshelf. Let me tell that muppet you’re real! Crazy that you have to waste your energy convincing him of your worth 😡

[Suzi Hamilton @Suzi_NZ]

@tiredkiwinurse @ketaminh @FOAMpodcast St John use it now across NZ and most hospitals here do, seems only Chch is lagging!

[Suzi Hamilton @Suzi_NZ]

@emlitofnote Much better company than the similarly named but very different weta who used to invade our BBQs when we lived up that way 😱

So proud of #Scotland for this and leading the way. ‘Bloody’ brilliant.

No one who menstruates should ever have to suffer without appropriate sanitary products. Please RT.

Aptly corrected to include women, trans, non-binary and others who have periods. Thank you @rosieICM

@claski @Coombah_bec Oh wow I used to LOVE making those!!!

Huge congratulations to microbiologist Siouxsie Wiles, Supreme Winner of the 2020 Women of Influence Awards
Judges were impressed not just by her leadership shown, but her strong advocacy for other women in science. Also she had sparkly shoes on.👌🏼#womenofinfluencenz

[Suzi Hamilton @Suzi_NZ]

@Mr_AndrewO Teaching on @ETMcourse which runs sessions on communication, teamwork, human factors is fantastic. Regular debriefs with your team. Mentoring - both having one and being one - absolutely vital to these aspects of healthcare.

https://t.co/7PWdLkFEfa This is horrific. Women forced to undergo gynae exam without being told why or allowed to say no.

[Suzi Hamilton @Suzi_NZ]

@RUBraveEnough Totally agree. As women we have to accept their way of doing it is fine though instead of micromanaging them and thinking our way is the only way. Learning this is changing my life!

[Suzi Hamilton @Suzi_NZ]

Great to see this fantastic mentoring program bring recognised - any wahine in healthcare in NZ should sign up if you haven’t already!

[Wāhine Connect @wahineconnect]

All. You.
Huge CONGRATULATIONS to our Wāhine Connect mentors who have just taken out the Minister of Health Volunteer, Community Team Award 2020. We are so grateful that our mentors have been recognised. If we could come and personally kiss all your faces right now we would. 🥂

[Suzi Hamilton @Suzi_NZ]

@Rick_Pescatore From a UK / NZ doc this is super interesting, I had no idea you could be DO or MD, assumed DO was quackery. Thanks for informing me!

[Suzi Hamilton @Suzi_NZ]

@christiplady @NorthumbriaNHS @JudithStonebri1 @JohnHanley11 https://t.co/cxiS3KllQl try these - bit slower but never get a puncture again!

[Suzi Hamilton @Suzi_NZ]

FACEMs make sure you vote on August 13th 💪

@monicajackson15 You’d be waaaay overqualified 🤪

[Suzi Hamilton @Suzi_NZ]
